    Jack Wallen is at it again, with another article introducing some
    commands useful for diagnostic purposes <https://www.zdnet.com/article/my-5-go-to-linux-commands-for-troubleshooting-and-how-i-use-them/>.

    One thing I recently discovered is dmesg has the “-T” option. This
    shows the message times as regular date/time stamps, instead of
    seconds after boot (but note the limitations documented in the man
    page).

    As for his use of the “ps” command, I would say, ignore the obsolete BSD-style options with no hyphens. Use more modern forms like “ps -ef” instead. Also, if you want more accurate displays of process start
    time and elapsed times, you can specify custom output options, like
    “-o user,pid,ppid,lstart,etime,cmd”.

    After you've been typing 'ps aux' for decades...
